I spent the day manually labeling frames for #DeepLabCut ( #MachineLearning model to track #animals in videos).
Incredibly mind-numbing, but hopefully my new model will be good enough to work through the terabytes of videos.
If the model can actually track up to 18 piglets, that would be amazing!

The new fence is basically done!!
Funny story that will hit home to anyone on Vancouver Island:
Two days ago the builders hadn’t added the new top section to the big gate in the back. A very large buck/deer jumped the fence and bent the wire so they had to try and bend it back out the best they could”
This is particularly funny for us because the other side, near the chicken coop (before it was there) the old fencing was bent from an over-eager bear trying to climb in.
Just mother nature ensuring balance, new and old, bent and unbent.
I am glad we are now bylaw-compliant for the #poolpond and the edibles should be out of the reach of the larger animals (racoons and birds and cats and squirrels and whatever other small creatures are inescapable)
The arbutus tree is now leaning against the fence. We'll see if it gets the message and grows in a more vertical kind of way naturally relieving stress from the fence, or if we might have to provide in a portal.
The most surprising part they managed to conquer was lifting the grape as high as they did! Very satisfied with that development!
